    Agreed on military. Let's do it. How do you plan to cut social security when that's a large voter block?
    You asked what I would cut. I told you.

    Race likes to ignore the cost savings and additional revenues in lieu of insurance and out of pocket.
    Will we all save $2500 a year.

    I’m sure when when the government takes it over the cost savings will flow.

    It's funny, everyone likes to bitch about cutting spending. But no one really wants to do it. Even food stamps, many people on food stamps are Republican. Only thing I can think on SS is cutting benefits from people who have a lot of income.
    Raise the “retirement” age

    The Document is titled memorandum not transcript probably due to the fact it’s not meant to be a verbatim transcript as noted on the first page. I don’t know if the DNI threatened to quit but even if he did, as long as he wanted to remain in his position, you and I both know he had to deny the story.

    What else would you like to discuss in this thread about deficits?
    No one but you it appears ever claimed it was a verbatim transcript.

    Same way as cutting military spending. With a law and a budget.

    Gee dumbfuck, that’s how spending is done. Laws and budgets. Change the fucking law. Unless you don’t want to solve the problem.

    Ok Mike. I'll play your idiotic game. What spending would you cut from SS?

    Too many people that don't belong. Social security is for a lot more than retirement and it's being abused. Old Octomom pulled in 2,200.00 per kid per month from SS. Claimed they had some type of disability. There's all kinds of abuse/fraud in all government programs. Many billions per year.

    Exactly. Part of it is boomers retiring. And partly because low labor participation rates.

    I answered. I’d cut retirement out of SS.

    When was Trump ever anything remotely resembling a fiscal conservative? He ran on cutting taxes and spending on infrastructure.

    Wake me up when the demand for US debt and currency doesn't far exceed the supply.

    If I understand the Hondobros correctly we have a deficit problem so we need to raise taxes and spend an additional 50 trillion. Seems like a winning formula.

    Trump was a fiscal conservative until January 17. And Trump sold that the tax cuts would increase revenue enough to pay for the infrastructure.

    You again forget how Medicare for all would work. As always.

    It's called taxes that offset what people currently pay in premiums and out of pocket. Are you seriously that dumb?

    Clearly enough to pay for the infrastructure that hasn't happened.
